I totally understand where people are coming from with this. After thinking about it, if it happened to me I'd be pretty angry - IF they were affecting the concert experience for me. General admission shows are the worst with this, because people stand in front of you and block out your view. But my stand on the matter is this... If somebody had their chance at better seats than us and found something better to do than actually show (which is going to be the case at a casino hotel, most assuredly) then it's too much of a waste to let them go empty. Granted, sometimes people have to cancel. But you have to realize that half of those great seats (especially at the Borgata Casino show) are handed out to people who could care less. I never look at it as pushing other people out of the way or 'outdoing others', as much as filling a void that a non-fan left for a non...non-fan. It pains me to see people with fantastic seats NOT filling them, when I did my best to get good seats and only came up with mediocre ones. I guess that could just be the bratty youth in me talking, so I apologize to anyone that may deck, clock, brain or tusk me at the show. As long as people aren't getting in my way or ruining the show for me in any manner, I see no problems with it. Courteous opportunism.
